Minister of Justice Andrej Milović said that it is up to the prosecution to assess whether Duško Knežević will become a cooperating witness.
"If the court assesses that he has certain evidence, I believe he can become one," Milović told TVCG.
The Minister of Justice said that he has full confidence in the institutions and their assessment. Milović pointed out that today's extradition of Knežević happened because Great Britain has a sufficient degree of trust in Montenegrin institutions, and Montenegro has shown a high degree of cooperation.
"With this, the United Kingdom testified that Montenegro fulfills its obligations both towards the European Union and international partners," Milović said.
Today, Knežević was extradited from Great Britain to Montenegro, and at 19.30:XNUMX p.m. his hearing by the investigating judge in the Podgorica High Court began. Three indictments have been brought against Duško Knežević in Montenegro - for organizing a criminal group, money laundering and abuse of position in business operations.
His defense attorney, lawyer Zdravko Đukanović, told "Vijesta" earlier today that Knežević will deny all the accusations brought against him that were grounds for extradition.
Đukanović also said that the defense will certainly offer bail if the High Court orders detention, but that he will discuss this with Knežević tonight.
